Advantages of NHT Hair
Transplantation
Hair transplantation provides natural and undetectable results. Unlike
most other hair restoration methods, there is no troublesome post-op
maintenance necessary. Just like your old hair, you can dye, perm,
and cut your transplanted hair with no worries. Also, hair transplantation
is not like a hairpiece, so you won't be restricted from enjoying
your favorite activities such as running, swimming, and just about
every other physical activity. As your hair begins to thin and bald,
hair transplantation is a good option to replace those areas before
they become significantly noticeable. The best thing about it is that
it's your own hair.
- Natural
looking and undetectable results.
- Continuous growing hair that should last for
your lifetime.
- No troublesome post-op maintenance necessary.
- Maintains
the natural characteristics of your original hair.
Limitations
of Hair Transplantation
- Because
hair transplantation is simply relocating hair from one area to
another, it does not increase the total number of hairs on the
scalp.
- Hair
Transplantation cannot prevent future hair loss of your original
hair.
- Limited
by available donor hair.

Treatment Strategy
The
dilemma that we face in hair transplant surgery is that the size
of our head stays the same while hairs gradually fall out when aged.
Less hair to cover same size of the head means reduced density.
A patient may not satisfy from the hair transplant surgery because
he can never achieve the same hair density that he had when he was
young.
So,
what treatment strategies do we have?
- Transplantation-
Because of illusions from the human eye, it is difficult for people
to tell the difference between 50% and 100% density with adequate
hair length. Based upon this knowledge, we only have to deliver
50% added density to a recipient site to achieve a look of good
density. This means that 1 cm2
of
donor is able to cover 2 cm2
of recipient area and looks same density. (However, this also
depends on age, expectations, and the contrast between the color
of the hair and skin, so some adjustments may be needed)
- Medications-
May help to grow new hair and prevent further hair loss. There
are two FDA approved medications for hair loss. But they do not
work for everyone and never work for the frontal/ hairline region.
Medication only works when you are on it. After discontinue taking
the medication, the hair grew back will fall out again in a few
weeks.
- Target
the right location
for hair transplant to get best visual effect. We emphasize the
most important area such as the frontal area and the area where
you part your hair. We do not transplant same density on the whole
scalp.
- Camouflage
-
Blow your hair and use Volumizing Foam
-
Perm you hair so the curly hair can grow longer to cover more
area and looks fuller
-
Color your hair to reduce the color contrast between hair and
skin
-
Part your hair from the side or comb hair to cover the vertex
area
-
Use hair powder or cream to reduce contrast
-
Use hairpieces temporarily
5.
Leave vertex empty-For patient with huge area or
is very young, we may leave the vertex area alone to conserve limited
donor hair.
In many cases, we have to combine several strategies
to give the best result.
